Best recovery points for thge rear

<< < (2/3) > >>

v8rangie:
Thanks :)

its definatly worth it its not too expensive for what it does really.

i could alternatively look into a removable tow bar but thats stupid money.
So a tank guard seems preety reasonable with a guard and tow points in 1

Range Rover Blues:
If you want a tank guard and tow-hitch then the Guardian/Southdown style one is probably the best option.

But it's heavy.

I have the recovery eye onmine, it's got a hi-lift point in it too, but you don't need it.

Otherwise JATE rings on the rear end are good, bolted through the tow-bar mounts when that is removed.

TBH if it's good enough to tow with then it's good enough for recovery, as any tank guard/tow bar is going to bolt on in the same place.

That said my Southdown has an extra set of hooes which one day I'll get around to drilling through the chassis and fitting another set of bolts into.

One day :roll:

crazymac:
I have the Guardian tank guard fitted, and have found that using one of the pins through a shackle makes a great recovery point.

I havent used it in anger as such but gentle tugs have been fine

Range Rover Blues:
Be careful, those pins will bend.

Yeh, I had thought of that, but the pin goes through one side of the hitch, through both holes on the shackle and through the other side of the hitch and is then pinned in place. Not as strong I agree as a 2 pin fixing an a properly made piece, but it is quite strong :?:
